It includes the following chemical types:(1) "Urethane foam" means a foam made from polymerized reaction product whose basic ingredient is a diisocyanate, and whose molecular structure contains, as a predominating structural unit, the urethane linkage. It shall include both polyether and polyester type foams.(2) "Polystyrene foam" means a foam made from a polymerization product of styrene monomers.(3) "Vinyl foam" means a foam made from homopolymers or copolymers of vinyl chloride.(4) Either the blanket term "synthetic foam" or the individual terms, such as "urethane foam," may be used for these materials. The term "rubber" may not be used in conjunction with these materials.(5) "Polyurethane foam" means a permissible synonymous term for urethane foam.(6) "Polyethylene foam" means a polyester resin made from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.Ohio Admin.
